We invite anyone in the community to join our practice from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the following dates: July 20, September 7, October 19, and November 16. (Note: usually the third Saturday of each month.)
Our aspiration is that Shantideva will become a resource and anchor for our broad and diverse community in the Bay Area and Northern California. Gathering at Shantideva is a chance for people from our many different sanghas to practice together in friendship, and to create opportunities for honest and vulnerable discussion.
Please email Dylan if you’re planning to attend.
